Little did I know, when I placed my Autumn display in the yard,
that the display needed yet one more addition...
pumpkin carving!!
The roos, farm stylists, have taken it upon themselves to carve the large orange pumpkin.
It is a work in progress...
every time I look at it, a little more has been carved.
I can hear them now..."Hey fellas! Look...lunch!"
"Mmmmmm we love pumpkin!"
Now, if I go out later today and find a candle inside the pumpkin,
well... you might just see that picture on tonight's news!
I'll keep you up to date with their progress.
As for our little elderly chicken who has moved to the barn...
It seems that old Rosalie is feeling much better now.
She ventured outside the barn yesterday...
and much to my surprise, made it the whole way over to the garden.
For whatever time she has left, her life will be peaceful...
with just a little bit of adventure.
Yesterday afternoon I safely tucked her back into the barn,
so that she would not go missing at bedtime.
Finding a wayward chicken in the dark is not the easiest task.
Once Rosalie was safely tucked in her stall,
I headed out to feed the goats.
Upon my arrival at the buck's pen,
(they are housed at Dr. Becky's... right across the field from the girls who are at our farm)
it dawned on me that we are in the midst of "rut".

Besides applying liberal amounts of aftershave (urinating on their beards),
they are displaying this type of behavior..
.
With no girls nearby, Chip turns his affections towards Donald, our neutered male.
As you can see... Donald is less than impressed!
And last, but never least...
a wish for a perfect weekend from Moonbeam and the rest of us...
to you!

The "pumpkin carving" reminds me of a few years back when the squirrels feasted on the Indian Corn at our front door. And a bit of pumpkin too.
Silly Chip and poor Donald, all I'm saying on this subject. Enjoy your weekend, Hugs!!
Such pretty and soft photos of Moonbeam. Haflingers have such beautiful coloring.
Happy day to you rock star!

If you look at the pumpkin, you can see a face :)
